and the court hearing is on monday the police say there still may be more casualties up to ninety seven recorded and there is criticism that it took them from an hour to an hour and a half after receiving information of the attack on the island that it took them over an hour to get to the scene and to stop the massacre has also been criticism they were looking for muslims initially they were saying it was a muslim attack the police say that it was difficult to get to the island they had to find transport their stories are emerging of immense heroism of ordinary people who rescued fellow victims who went back into the danger area here in the city center but also there is growing criticism here in oslo of government integration policies which seem to have backfired more now in this report brave christine who was. called bomb explosion in days and surrounded by broken she stayed in the north to help. you wait just standing and then suddenly

just feet i was like i come like a fish just waiting for you. like plastics in their eyes. you know that gets smashed glass all over the skin and everything. patched up victims before giving drinks as a nation which is never suffered at the hands of terrorists before he says norwegians just didn't know how to react. alarms from. buildings. and people gaming rolling on this man's wife suffered severe short when their windows were blown else by the last but she says they're lucky to be alone he's thoughts go out to the young victims of the second time i think about. the she did she die. and so it's just the two atrocities. he's produced many acts of heroism which is the sensors on the

walls was mass shooting experts say there's also closing anger to the attacks were allowed to happen in the first place and give the truth or ignore dozens of hate messages from suspect. you haven't really been prepared for the right wing extremism brave expressed fury at the government's open door policy on immigration blogs and twitter feeds. the shootings may reflect growing national look position to flee immigration policies the political establishment or more they are relatively well off people that live in areas where there are simply no immigrants for people in normal being pushed out of places they used to live. their drug stocks are in jeopardy muslims claim this disappointment that the killer turned out to be wants they want this guy to be a muslim or how muslim you know. it's for them it's

a little bit strange because he's in the region so they talk too much about us. it is not good news regions are said to be fed up with their brand of what's been dubbed radical liberalism it's the country's multicultural policies to turn the government against his own but in no way the far right sentiment is. wider than norwegians are ready to admit and there's a polite and respectful attitude towards that kind of views in mainstream media but the reality is that fifty percent of norwegians are against multiculturalism as people here try to pick up the pieces and bring meaning to this twin attack they're already saying it will sell relations between communities some expect the crackdown by police on the e.u. growing far right movement while others fear this will only fuel resentment against europe's muslims victims are beginning to piece back together their shots at

lloyd's but experts warn this might not be the last such attack as outrage at the perceived failure of a multicultural society grows the new bush will see oslo. meantime live anderson who knows the suspect personally told r.t. that he was shocked by the news but also was a place where radicalism is on the rise. i could not imagine i say not even imagine that you do that he must have been somehow brainwashed or something he never came across as. a religious fanatic or anything i mean i knew that he was religious but it wasn't like he was trying to urge you or anything you know he just i just knew he was really just pretty much. i would more describe him. simply by irritated i'm always. going to be angry that he

would be so to speak second person but they all ran along the origin but not more than that i did not have they thought through the ideological. why based on the other hand you just have to throw. like. all people who all have very radical religious jews all the way ranging from white muslim christian and then you have people who are the leftist idea and always managed to find some right wing group so i'm not generally surprised that equal find very stream ideas so central oslo is basically like just your poison which wrong way you want to. i know that was a former acquaintance of the alleged killer and us but if i call the whole world is

cussing what lies behind the atrocity now you can join in the debate on our web site of the dot com let's look at the stats now and see where you stand so far the majority think fanaticism is to blame if you have people say the tensions stem from multiculturalism nine percent believe the reason is global terrorism which penetrates everywhere and the minorities say it's down to the failure of security forces you know toss your head in the ring here have your say log on to r.t. dot com. you're watching the weekly here on c.n.n. this week the phone hacking and police bribery scandal was taken to the british parliament rupert murdoch his son james on the former u.k. c.e.o. rebecca brooks all grilled by british lawmakers for several hours the trio said they were deeply sorry for what happened however new allegations have emerged that the news international chairman james murdoch misled m.p.'s by saying he was unaware of the true extent of illicit phone tapping by the company's reporters the modocs could now face legal challenges in the u.s.

over claims the voice mails of nine eleven victims were also targeted meanwhile britain's hacking scandal appears to be spreading beyond the murdoch empire with claims now the sunday mirror its have allowed also bugged so celebrities voicemail messages but it also has gone h.d. counterpoints critics believe the issue is just the tip of the iceberg in a society that no longer values individual privacy. as the scandal over phone hacking by the murdoch media empire rages on public and political fury has mainly focused on ruthless tabloids out of control prepared to invade people's private lives and even the dad to get the story but some say in this day and age the whole concept of privacy is falling apart and in the u.s. more rapidly than elsewhere every time you tap on your cell or click on. or use your mail service everybody sort of just clicks through that you agree to our terms and conditions well those terms and conditions are very very heavily weighted

against you and your privacy interests we see breaches of privacy happening by corporations all across america all across the world really in every sector surveillance is rampant but really this is all a microcosm of the biggest surveil or of all which is the state there's little americans can do with the state having sweeping access to their private information access that followed the nine eleven terrorist attacks under a new law known as the patriot act asana law his privacy was taken away from him in two thousand and two when he was detained by the f.b.i. for absolutely no reason he says and scrutinized for months without charge he's response for nine years he has voluntarily documented nearly every waking hour of his life on the web he has subsequently even turned it into a form of art sealed or listen i've used so you know that over here for example you know that on sunday november twenty fourth of two thousand and seven i've used this

time i went grocery shopping at safeway over there on october seventeenth i got gas over here he posts copies of every debit card transaction so you can see what he bought where and when a g.p.s. device in his pocket reports his real time physical location on a map and this is the shot he took on his way to our studio which was immediately up loaded on his website hasan says his extraordinary abandonment of his own privacy stems from the ignorance of the authorities but in the fear they decided well that guy looks a little different so he must be arab and if he's arab then he must have explosives everyone knows that and that's the logic we're operating we we realize how ridiculous that logic sounds but when your country when your own country takes that on as the basis for national policy. ignorance is the basis of national policy is a pretty scary situation and that's how i got caught up in it for ha son piracy has

become a rally of the past and he says he's not surprised that journalists or anyone else really would use the same surveillance tactics as the state in that sense it might be of no surprise that the chief architect of the patriot act the lawyer who put it together happens to be one of murdoch's hand-picked used for gore director's victim served as assistant attorney general in the bush administration and was described by some as the purveyor of the most sweeping curtailment of freedom in the u.s. since the mccarthy era at a time when corporations and the government can easily hack into people's private lives it doesn't come as a surprise when for example social networks give your personal information to ad companies or when other industries leave on breaching people filing in the u.s. it's so widespread and people have gotten so used to it that rupert murdoch seems to be perfect part of the system rather than some special bill and with corporation has been undertaking some unique all lawful practices because here in america they

are not so unique i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . james corporate the editor of the independent news website says the public trust has been seriously undermined by the foreign hacking scandal. to find out that certain officers have been on the payroll of these organizations and providing details today to the journalists who are involved in a scandal that in itself is quite a disgrace and it does raise the question of who is properly qualified to to look into this into to form a proper investigation certainly not the police itself investigating itself that would be ridiculous at this point and the idea again of a parliamentary inquiry it has to be at least seem to be completely free of ties to the prime minister's office certainly and and to any other m.p.'s who may have been implicated in the scandal so it's going to be an incredible mess unfortunately for the british people to be sorting through right now and i think trust in the public

institutions has been necessarily eroded by this appalling disgraceful conduct on the part of so many different people in whom the public has invested so much trust . you're watching the weekly here on r t it's good to have your company on this sunday and still ahead here on the program begins handing control of afghan provinces to local army forces but questions are raised if they're up to the job. we hear from campaigners against u.s. drone attacks in pakistan wants a virus a lawsuit a former cia legal chief for approving attacks that killed hundreds of innocent. emergency workers have recovered more bodies from the russian pleasure boat that sank in the volga river two weeks ago killing more than one hundred twenty the wrecked ship has now been lifted from the bottom and shallow waters of the task is now to pump water from the hole so investigators can examine the vessel to determine the cause of the tragedy the search continues for the bodies of the last

two missing victims which could still be trapped inside the bulgarian went down within minutes of drowning more than half of its two hundred passengers the boat's owner is under investigation and two people have already been charged with violating safety regulations. a sigh of relief after long talks e.u. leaders are finally agreed on how to help the country avoid defaulting on its debt athens will now receive a new bailout worth an estimated one hundred and nine billion euros the plan also involves lowering interest rates and extending the period in which i must repay it the package also grants bankrupt portugal and ireland twice as much time to pay back their own loans meanwhile spain which has the highest rate of unemployment in the euro zone saw thousands of protesters converge on the capital this saturday with more rallies expected later on sunday financial journalist patrick young says bailing out failing economies will not help them in the long term i think it's

going to prolong the agony unfortunately like everything we've been looking for for weeks we want to leadership from the european union and i think really the european union's own sort of. press conference just demonstrates what a shambles this whole proceedings is i mean we have to sit through umpteen different leaders all telling us who's actually in charge and what's going on they give certain parts of the information seems to be contradictory ultimately alone more money has been thrown at the greek economy in the hope that got to stop the contagion but really a lot of it just looks like hype and i'm very very concerned that we have to actually find a cure we've just got another sticking plaster on the can has been kicked down the road the danger of contagion still leaking to other countries such as our loan to portugal even italy and spain are there and therefore we don't have a cure ultimately we can't keep spending all of the banks money and all of the government's money on all of these economic issues and at the same time consumers are basically scared and i think they're going to dry up and not be willing to

indulge in normal economic activity i think it's a worrying time and fears of a default are also raging across the atlantic where barack obama met with congressional leaders in a desperate bid to avoid economic collapse previous talks with a republican house speaker broke down on friday congress must approve it raising its current fourteen point three trillion dollars debt level before august the second him or risk a default the impact would which would shake the entire world economy the deal now offered by president obama includes it slashes to medical costs and other entitlements but both democrats and republicans are divided over the details of a package of spending cuts and tax rises and as investigative journalist greg palast says it's the ordinary americans who have to foot the government's bills. george bush when he was president from two thousand and one to two thousand and eight when our y.-o. said he had a surplus given to him and eighty six billion dollars

a year by bill clinton turned that into a six hundred million dollars per year deficit adding three trillion dollars us eric cantor voted. for all those bush's wars in iraq for the weapons for the tax cuts now these guys don't want to pay the bill somehow the compromise means that. this crucial in dollars will be paid for by eliminating benefits or the working class the american people the elderly people on social security didn't encourage the dead's veterans receiving better and better and benefits didn't increase the debt it was the result of bush's wars bush's tax cuts while spending for these programs now are the beneficiaries basically people who got the money don't want to pay it back. more news on comment on the financial woes gripping the world. dot com here's a taste of what else is there waiting for you right now uncover

sixteen insurgents have been killed in the country's south the raid comes in response to renewed taliban activity as nato begins a gradual withdrawal from afghanistan the plan is to recall all foreign combat troops by the end of two thousand and fourteen but meantime a nato as new military commander in the country general john allen wants of quote tough times ahead of the war but this month afghan president's half brother was assassinated by insurgents and one of them it causes top advisors have also been gunned down and you walk to. think that the u.s. led coalition is losing ground in afghanistan while the number of casualties continues to rise. they can't win by staying in fact their presence is becoming the main catalyst for the armed insurgency not only the taliban but maybe one hundred forty armed groups and they can't leave either because if they leave there will be a perception that the u.s.

and nato were defeated by an armed insurgency but this dilemma must be solved some way so ultimately the united states cannot prevail the assassination of karzai as brother and his inner circle shows that the edifice of the karzai regime necessary at least to get afghan face to the nato occupation that itself is now crumbling and attacks these assassination attempts are designed to create panic and i think in all likelihood they are creating panic within the very heart the foundation of the karzai government the u.s. is losing ground steadily at spending one hundred twenty billion dollars a year that's an increasing amount from the treasury that's already drained based on huge budget deficits here the number of casualties on the afghan and american side is is increasing not decreasing and yet they're no closer to victory in fact they're losing control of the country and the government that they sponsor is is in fact in danger of crumbling i would say the u.s. hasn't gained anything i think the u.s. is losing ground it's spite of what david petraeus and the obama administration say

this is a bad situation possibly a catastrophe for the united states. and later began the handover of control in parts of afghanistan to local security forces some analysts feel the country is ill equipped to fend off insurgency without foreign aid there's concern too that afghans are divided but some fearing a return to taliban rule. has the story. there's confusion on the faces of the afghan army soldiers as a firefight on fords on the other side of the wall looking for them this is the call the military training center in the ports before i mean here at halfway through a ten week program the officers don't cut the many slack when it's over the be deployed eastern crude or province of afghanistan's most violent corners some of this out of nigeria for you must understand hard so they can talk a lot of pressure that day by day we're making it on us the afghan national army has already come a long way it's rates have swollen to about one hundred seventy thousand troops on

start from moves of recruits the trucks of the higher wages and extra books the soldiers insist we are all united in their desire to be back to tell you about a certain city. or ethnicity then yeah my we are older brother and we're all calling my gun and he. was right the call of duty has also struck a chord beyond able bodied males a first ever class of women soldiers has just graduated. and there's even a mujahedeen unit made up of our veterans so this is all good news to u.s. military planners have set a two thousand and fourteen to hand over security responsibilities to the afghans the afghan army enjoys a much better reputation in the police force and has even been featured in recent movies. but is the army takes greater responsibility for security around the country there are concerns that the quality of troops may be coming at the expense of quality starters more than eighty percent of troops are illiterate a big problem on our ability to really match

a numbers can spell the difference between life and death adding to that was a widespread drug use and desertion that's today roughly one in four combat soldiers quit their post critics also point out that the military leadership is made up of many rival x. warlords who still command loyalties along regional in their declines he could leave the country deeply into compliance as the u.s. begins to scale back its role as custodian this summer there are concerns that these divisions may flare up if i stop neutral. we need to be united ninety three would be fighting each other to be killing each other. the groups who control. yet another obstacle for a young army that still has much to afford can still. chasing a little are called for. you are watching the weekly here and see how the u.s. has been carrying out on bond drone strikes in pakistan for years but now one of the masterminds of the attacks is in the crosshairs himself former cia official

john rizzo faces a lawsuit over civilian casualties he won rice lawyers and the families of victims are seeking an arrest warrant against him as claimed rizzo approved a list of targets for the drone strikes which often resulted in schools of civilian deaths. is a member of the campaign group that's bringing the action against her side she told us that washington must be held to account for its operations in pakistan. that's part of these drones have been operating in pakistan in the federal federal administrated tribal areas fata they've been operating in secret by the cia and they've been killing indiscriminately hundreds of civilians and so that the purpose of this is this hopefully to gets a transparency out of out of the cia and out of obama and to to get some justice on behalf of the victims of these drone strikes as we know the u.s. is not a war in fact the usa is operating extra legally by carrying out these drone strikes in pakistan in europe in somalia and in terms of it being disproportionate you know

we have numbers coming out of pakistan that indicate that you know for every one suspected militant that's being killed one hundred forty innocent civilians are dying as a result of these strikes and so if those numbers are correct you know we have people on the ground who are who are gathering the information who are doing the investigation to try to collect the information so that we can bring a more transparent more honest picture to the public about what's. you're with us here live from moscow it's good if you join us today and shortly we talk to a man who reached out to beyond the earth's atmosphere and went for a stroll on the surface of the main a softer recap of the week's top stories i'll see you in just a minute. for
